LOCAL NOTES.

lh' Dall ol the Salh1leld t,udfi at Carlls Opera House last Monday evening did great credit to that organization. The attendance was large and all seemed to enjoy themselves.
 The labor men of this city have made arrangements for the lecture of Rev. Dr. Mctilynn on "rhe Cross of q New Cru. sade, to be delivered here about the first of May. We will give timely notice of the date and place.
 The communication, signed Justice" which will be found on the third page of this issue will he of interest to all who have followed up the trouble in Sargents lock department, and on account of which threats of libel suits are floating in the air.
 Section New Haven, s. l., F., at it's last meeting adopted resolutions protest ing against the Bayard extradtion treaty with Russia, as unconstitutional and criminal, being foul spot upon our national history. The action of the New York Central Labor Union in taking the initiative against this attack upon the sacred right of asylum was endorsed
 It must be a pleasure to the toiors to read and hear so much about the "W hit ney baby" of Washing gton, and think of the large number of babies belonging to the poor wage-workers now being starved to death in the miserable teuements of New ork and all other cities of the union, Truly, this ls "a government of the people, by the people and for the people"' lIurah for the "Whitney baby!"
 The painters now out on strike in Hartford, believe that inside of a few days they will arrive at a settlement with bosses by having their demand for nine hours a day and S2,5o About month ago the carpenters of that city made the same demand, and although the bosses have refused to accede, the workmen feel confident they will win. Two prominent builders have already come to terms.
 The Nofnthg NerS needs u man for an editor. Last week it published a series of resolutions said to have been adopted by number of workmcn Then the editor for some reason or other came out with cowardly apology for having reported fact, The evident cowardice of the paper encouraged the miserable being who was the cause of the trouble, and he has sued the Neus. il is said. Let the Ae"s sue it's editor for apologizing.
 The evening papers of this moral burg, when speaking of labor matters, should bear in mind that those members of the different labor organizations who are ca pable of giving reliable information in re gard to their plans, know enough to keep their mouths shut until such plans are perfected. It is well enough for Journal ism to keep up with the selfish race to scoop Ill the most wealth, no matter how It may be attained, under our present competitive system; but let those who wield the capitalistic pen remember the world moves-the side that Is up to-day may be down tomorrow,
 It has been reported that the boss plumbers are about to bring a large cargo of scabs into New Haven to take the place of the 1ourneymen now out on strike. If thls be true, we hope the friends of honest labor will treat the scabs as scahs. Last Tuesday the boss plumbers held two meetings at Foske,t X Bishops place, on State street. to con slder the situation, and take action for the preservation of their interests. This Is good, but how about the interests of the men they deny justice to: Jus tice will come itself. The result of the proceedings of such meetings as those held at Foskett X Bishops will only hasten it.
